Recently, the news of the release of DeepSeek's next-generation large model DeepSeek - R2 has attracted widespread attention in the market. There is a rumor that DeepSeek - R2 will be released between August 15th and 30th. However, according to Tencent Technology, sources close to DeepSeek have confirmed to the media that this news is not true and DeepSeek - R2 has no release plan this month.

As early as the beginning of this year, news about the R2 model had already started to spread. At that time, it was predicted that the R2 model would be released on March 17th, but this claim was also denied by the official. So far, DeepSeek has not officially announced the specific release time and technical details of the R2 model, which has disappointed many observers.

According to reports, the DeepSeek team stepped up the development of the R2 model in June this year. Insiders revealed that CEO Liang Wenfeng is still not satisfied with the capabilities of the model, and the team is still improving its performance and is not ready for official use. Early news said that DeepSeek originally planned to launch the R2 model in May, but due to various reasons, the plan was delayed. The new model is expected to be able to generate higher quality code and have the ability to reason in non-English languages.
